Description
iOS version: 17.1.1
model: iPhone 15
Windows version: OS build 22631.2715
I followed every step in tutorial.
I ran altServer as administrator, and when I tried to install altStore to my phone after login with my apple ID, error happened.
The error windows says
Could not install AltStore to XX's iPhone.
Canonical: [garbled text] %TEMPFOLDER%[some temp path]\AltStore.app\Plugins\AltWidgetExtension.appex"
Same as the image attached shows.
My User and System Temp Variables are both set to R:\Temp. R: is a ramdisk.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the installation with iOS 17.1.1, an iPhone 15, Windows build 22631.2715, and both temporary directories set to R:\Temp. Investigate the installation handling for AltStore.app\Plugins\AltWidgetExtension.appex and the reported garbled Canonical path; done means identifying a reproducible cause and confirming that installation succeeds or the limitation is documented.
